Metropolitan is a place full of noise.
Skyscrapers are everywhere.
We are a bunch of lost souls wondering in the city.
Everything is available, but seems that we have nothing.
The city evaporates in the mysterious darkness, so familiar as yet so strange, with lights shining through streets corners, changing the look of the city.
The city seems to have a thousands faces.
Sometimes, it is charming & sweet, sometimes grey & cold.
It changes all the time actually, leaving people hard to guess what it might look like next.
People fight, scolding each other, creating distance between themselves.
We travel; we work endlessly under the influence of being a part.
We lost the precious element in this world - time, in this never-ending busy enviroment.
We lost friendships, leaving us all alone. What do we look in life?
Eternity or just a moment of glory?
Everyone tries to take a lot but give a little. Our language become pale while action meaningless.
We achieve a lot , at the same time, we lost a lot too.
Nothing is relevant in this achieving & losing.
We can lose everything; no matter it is the moment of glory or enternity.
Where is the boundary?
Is there any boundary at all?
It seems to have existed somewhere in everyone.
If we try it to surface, floating on water perhaps, it shows, lightly.
The world is like cloud, you can see it but cannot touch.
we are just like those bees, busy working all the time.
At times, we are clear about what we are doing, but sometimes, we feel everything is just a big blur
We feel comfortable & enjoy life.
We are intoxicated by our world, sinking in our fantasy, deeper & deeper, like floating on water without any direction. The more we try to make sense, the emptier things become.
Reality bites!
"Lost of Words" - for those who are on their way to seek TRUTH
Lost of Words is something i dedicate to truth.
People tend to be lost of words in front of the truth.
I wonder whether it is because of respect or scare.
Anyway, it happens all the time, everywhere, because of this Lost of Words, things become blurred, as if it is covered by a veil, hard to see clearly what's behind it.
In fact, truth could put people in embarrassing situations.
Thus, people try to find a way to avoid, escape, run away or ignore it.
Perhaps that's the reason why we tends to see more faces with no emotions-better to hind then to reveal.
However, does truth also have two faces?
It is hard to say, because truth is such a "fragile" thing.
It breaks upon presistent challenge or verification.
In today's society, truth is easily to get twisted, misunderstood or misinterpreted.
In the end, truth is left with a thin shell.
Do people still believe in truth?
Do people still think truth matters?
In a society full of desire & profitability, people walk along the edge of truth.
People do think about truth from time to time, often sinking into deep thoughts, hopelessly & helplessly trying to figure out what went wrong.
But, things are not so easy and simple.
Thus, it is more convenient to live in-between, on the edge of truth & lie.
We don't want to know exactly, but we do know there is a very thin line between the two.
We got lost in searching for existence.
We live in anxiety.
We lose the ability for words of truth
